Are you talking about the admin panel logins? If so, when you set it up - you will be setting up a new one. However, what you can do - is when you have installed it all, open the .htaccess file in your gforum admin folder, and change the "path" to the one of your DBMan admin area.

i have never looked at gforum before so i don't really know if i'm talking about admin panel or not. i'm assuming that you can set up gforum so people must log in to see and post. i want their logins to pull from the htaccess file. how are userids and passwords stored for gforum?
